RE: WMS Authorization and Authentication question for live broadcasts



I have been messing with the same thing... Uber-confusing, but I think I got
it worked out. Mine is now prompting me for username/password to publish, but
anon users can view the stream. My settings are as follows (and all of these
setting are at the publishing point itself. The server settings are all
disabled):
Under Authorization; ACL is enabled. I added my encoder user to have
create/write rights. I also added the WMUS_ user and gave him read only.

Under Authentication: Both Anon User and Negotiate are enabled.
The anonymous user is set to the ANON_ username and password

That did the trick for me... Hope it works the same for you. Quicktime
Streaming Server is a lot more straightforward if you get too frustrated with
the MS stuff.
